Kristen Phelps Photography

I’m not a professional blogger. Not even close. It’s my weird little hobby that devours most of my {very rare} free time. I love every minute of it.

My cousin, Kristen, is a professional photographer. She travels the world, goes on wild adventures, takes workshop after workshop and advantage of every opportunity and experience to better her craft.

On a whim a couple of weeks ago, I asked her to take my picture. I figured, if this many people are going to read my recipes and follow my kitchen adventures, I might as well have a picture of me that wasn’t cropped from a friend’s wedding all too many years ago. Simple as that.

I figured she could come over for dinner…or brunch, whichever she wanted, and snap one real quick on her iPhone while I was cooking. Easy.

Kris had other plans. She had me meet her at a local park; armed with a professional camera, step ladder and props, she was ready to go. I was overwhelmed. Anyone who knows me knows that I squirm when given attention.
